Happy New Year to you all... or at least, I hope it is a good year for many of you.
Last year was the year I had imagined We would never have! after Dal's Diagnosis in May 2020 and the prognosis given, we embraced 2020 with a view that there may not be a 2021 for us, but there was.

We received a call from a man at the hospital on Monday 20th advising Dal that his chemo had been rescheduled, cancelled for September 24th, rescheduled for the 1st October, no reason as to why, just that it had... but he was still to go in for his nurse assessment on the 21st. So the Tuesday comes, and transport takes him to…
